I did search, and found stuff for aftermarket turbos. Does anyone sell a turbo blanket for a CT26 that will fit under the stock heat shield?
THANKS!

CT26 specific turbo blanket?

I wouldn't trust a turbo blanket that still depended on the stock heat shield.

I would love to see some pictures, with the mfg mentioned

A better question is why run both? I see no added benifit. I wrapped my manifold, blanket on the hot side of the turbo and wrapped my downpipe.

Im guessing to get the benifit of a blanket and the look of stock.
My recommendation is take the turbo out and have it ceramic coated and use the stock shield over that.

Bingo. I'm going to have the heat shield ceramic coated..not sure if it will really help but I'm having other stuff done at the same tim so it will be cheap/free. My DP is also ceramic coated. I will have my 57trim donor ceramic coated too...that gives me a good reason to upgrade
i would think that ceramic coating everything would do the job. i have the intake manifold, exhaust manifold and heat shields coated, and about to get the turbo heat shield done. i think all those components should be more than enough.
i used to run a turbo blanket, and did notice a significant drop in underhood temps (wasnt running the turbo heat shield at the time). ill let you know once my new motor is up and running

I've always wondered, how effective is the stock heat shield? I've run with mine off but only for a trip up and down the block so I wouldn't be able to compare. The engine bay is extremely hot all the time so I've been considering a blanket too.
I seem to recall a thread somewhere with a heated debate about blankets being very bad for the turbo....??
I don't think they make one small enough. *goes and hides*

Seriously though, stock heat shield OR blanket, not both.

Duane, my hp goal is 1/3 your actual HP. I'm just trying to reduce heat and keep an OEM look, in a car that didn't have a 7M OEM
